Mycena cyanorhiza growing on a dead tree bark covered in moss, likely the north side.
They’re so tiny and scattered you have to know where to look or it’s easy to miss ‘em. Sometimes they can develop blue hues, as from the name 😃Olympus OM-1

Cute couple of Pluteus salicinus on a stick 🤣 They only grow on wood, poplar in this case, and they are #hallucinogenic if eaten raw.

A jumping spider (f. Salticidae) in the North Woods of Central Park in late May. This particular one was being a picky eater. It would grab one bug, pause for a moment, then drop it. It repeated this behavior for about 20 minutes before it finally settled on one that it actually wanted to eat.

A green lacewing larva (f. Chrysopidae) eating an aphid in Central Park in late May. Lacewing larva are a bit terrifying, but the adults are nearly harmless.

A bagworm (f. Psychidae) in the North Woods of Central Park in late May. These eventually end up as moths called bagworm moths.

An aphid of some sort. Note that this one extrudes white lacy stuff. That helps to disguise it, and also if something does try to eat it, they may end up with the extrusions rather than the aphid.

A leafhopper nymph of some sort. Central Park in late May.

An unidentified butterfly or moth caterpillar in Central Park (late May). From a distance these look 'fuzzy', but up close you can see that the hairs really are big spikes/needles. Hopefully no one was silly enough to actually touch it.

According to seek these are chincatana leafcutter ants. However, I'm skeptical b/c this picture was taken in New York City instead of Mexico, Arizona or the surrounding regions.
Note how much smaller the male is than the female. Late May in Central Park.

Sooo fuzzy! :-)

Another true bug, but I'm really not sure what kind. I think it is in one of the subadult phases. Central Park in late May.

I think this is a member of the family Miridae. E.g. plant bugs. Like all true bugs, these have sucking mouth parts, this one was found in Central Park in late May.

A fifteen-spotted lady beetle (Anatis labiculata) on a yellow leaf. These are darker colored ladybugs and their bodies can be nearly entirely black. As mentioned in previous posts, ladybugs and their larva are voracious aphid predators.

The one of the larval stages of Campyloneura virgula. This is a true bug and is predatory. You can just about see the sucking mouth part being extended.

A braconid Wasp (f. Braconidae). There are 17000 species in this family of parasitoid wasps. Never trust anything with an ovipositor!

Ants farming aphids in late May in Central Park. Ants will gather up aphids and protect them in exchange for sugary liquids that the aphids occasionally extrude.

The larva from a green lacewing (f. Chrysopidae). These are one of the bugs where the larval form is terrifying but the adult is surprisingly weak. At least this one isn't wearing the corpses of its victims as camouflage.
